BLU Products announces VIVO 4.65 HD smartphone

When it comes to naming your product, hitting the nail on the head can be quite tricky. You will need something that is short and sweet, and yet gets the message across so that ordinary folks would know what you are referring to without having to pause and think. Giving smartphones names could be quite a fun affair, where you have Samsung with their Galaxy range, HTC with different kinds of “feelings” involved (Desire, Sensation, et al), Sony with their trademark Xperia line, the list goes on. How about BLU Products? We also haven’t heard of them, but this could by the very reason why they decided to go for the jugular by calling their latest smartphone as the VIVO 4.65 HD. You know for sure this puppy will come with a 4.65” display, and it will be the better version of the VIVO 4.3 that rolled out earlier this year.

Needless to say, whenever a new model hits the market, one can expect marked improvements, and for the VIVO 4.65 HD, you will be able to find a more generously sized display at 4.65″ compared to 4.3″ from the previous model, in addition to a better display resolution thanks to its HD Super AMOLED screen, not to mention having a bump in the RAM department to touch the 1GB mark.

The VIVO 4.65 HD’s overall design will continue from where its predecessor left off, that is, you will not be able to find any physical hardware buttons on the front so that your eyes are met with a seamless elegant design, and the VIVO 4.65 HD will comfortably occupy the mid-range smartphone market thanks to its dual-core MediaTek MT6577 1.2 GHz Cortex A9 processor, accompanied by 3G/HSPA connectivity, powered by the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, while carrying an 8-megapixel autofocus camera at the back that does HD video recording and playback.

Oh, there is also dual SIM capability that lets you live with two lines simultaneously, so that both SIMs remain active, and you can switch from one line to the other seamlessly without having to disable one of them. Expect the unlocked VIVO 4.65 HD to retail for $300 a pop when it arrives on US shores in January next year.
